ROBERT EVANS likes to keep romance in the picture, if in unconventional ways. At 75, the bronzed, basso-voiced producer of Chinatown proposed to his seventh bride, socialite and twice-married mother of three LADY VICTORIA WHITE, 42, by presenting her with a black-and-white photograph of her and her first, now deceased, husband. Evans pasted an image of his head on the man's body so that his fiancé "can have us both by her bedside at night," he says. After meeting White last November at a screening for the 30th anniversary of Chinatown, Evans married her last...
...movie. Persona 1966; Ingmar Bergman A famous actress falls silent, unable to speak of and to the world's brutalities and banalities. Her nurse fills the emptiness with chipper chatter, eventually talking herself into her patient's tragic view. Bergman has never been more bleak, austere, enigmatic or hypnotic. Chinatown 1974; Roman Polanski Dewy-fresh 1930s Los Angeles becomes the ironic avatar of this darkly shadowed tale of multiple rapes - of the land, of a tragically misused woman.

They have tours...
Until 20 years ago, Vancouver's Main Street?an artery running from Chinatown toward South Vancouver?marked the boundary between the city's smarter West Side and the rough-and-ready section known as East Van. How times have changed. Successive waves of artists, media types and other loft dwellers kicked off a gradual process of gentrification; the day young families started infiltrating its neighborhoods, East Van's journey to respectability was complete. One knock-on effect of this has been the tidying up of Main Street itself. Caf?s and galleries have mushroomed there; so have boutiques?particularly around 21st...
